Speaking as someone who was the victim of a person who was mentally ill and extremely violent (after the suicide of his father when he was 5 years old), I hope Brown can get his life together and show actual remorse, but I don't think it's going to happen until he gets actual help. At any rate, I get this icky feeling that his life is not going to end well and I just prefer not to ride this train to it's inevitable collision. Unfortunately, I know how this story ends. I have no anger or animosity toward him, just pity.

Okay, so Chris Brown. Yeah. There's no defending his behavior anymore, so anyone who is can just shut the fuck up already. Including Chris Brown.
